How it works

Gross profit = revenue − cost of goods sold. Gross margin = gross profit ÷ revenue × 100. Operating profit = gross profit − operating expenses. Operating margin = operating profit ÷ revenue × 100. Interest and tax come after operating profit and are not included here.

Example

Revenue of 100,000 with 40,000 cost of goods gives a gross profit of 60,000 and a 60% gross margin. After 35,000 of operating expenses, operating profit is 25,000, or 25% of revenue.
